UniFi Protect G6 PTZ: what it is & who it's for
The only moving camera in the G6 line — dual lenses, 10× hybrid zoom, and 350° / 100° auto-tracking cover a whole forecourt from one mount, but at $399 and 24.5 W PoE+ it is twice the Turret. Large yards, lots, and forecourts where one operator-steerable camera with zoom beats several fixed views.

Verdict
The only moving camera in the G6 line — dual lenses, 10× hybrid zoom, and 350° / 100° auto-tracking cover a whole forecourt from one mount, but at $399 and 24.5 W PoE+ it is twice the Turret.
Pros
- Motorized 350° pan / 100° tilt with auto-tracking follows people and vehicles
- Dual wide + tele lenses with 10× hybrid zoom — overview and detail from one camera
- microSD slot plus IP66 ruggedness for unattended outdoor sites
Cons
- $399 — roughly double the fixed G6 cameras
- Requires PoE+ (802.3at) and draws 24.5 W — not every switch port qualifies
- One PTZ watches a single direction at a time; fixed cameras cover all angles continuously
Best forLarge yards, lots, and forecourts where one operator-steerable camera with zoom beats several fixed views.
